Hi,

I have a question on yui3 loader. I am building custom shindig features and i plan to use loader utility to load additional java script files using the insert method. I have a gadget in which i want to include the script like this,

<!-- Load the YUI Loader script: -->
<script src="http://yui.yahooapis.com/2.9.0/build/yuiloader/yuiloader-min.js"></script>
But the script doesn't seem to load . Is there a best practice to follow to use loader functionality with shindig features? Also I came to know that loader functionaloity for yui3 comes with yui global object . is that true?

thanks,

thanks juan. In my case, since I am using gadgets I do not want to load the seed in the gadget file hence i am adding the seed as dependency in the shindig features and loading the seed content. now i want to use this load functionality to load a javascript dynamically in another javascript function. should i be able to do that? are there any examples doing this?

thanks in advance

hi juan,

i looked at the examples and have written the below code but it doesn;t seem to load the js file. i might be missnig something here.

here is my code...is this the correct way?

var Y = YUI();
alert(Y);
YUI.add('mymodules-mod1', function(Y) {


},
'0.1.1' /* module version */,
{
fullpath: 'myfile.js'
});

i am expecting that myfile.js gets loaded. but i do not see that happening. I really do not need to load any modules nor have code in callback function. all I want is load the js file .

thank you

Hey Neal,

The basic idea behind custom modules is this:

1) Create a file with your module


2) In your page/gadget/iframe insert the YUI seed file and add your module to the configuration of the YUI object. Then use() your module

You can do a lot with custom modules and they work really well with any gadget implementation. Just experiment with them!
